Andy Wilson
Andy Wilson is a Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. The Wilson group are interested in the application of synthetic molecules to problems in Chemical Biology and Materials Science. We pursue both curiosity driven fundamental research and mission inspired research addressing societal challenges.
Beatrice Collins
Beatrice is the Early Career Champion for the Network and leads a synthetic chemistry research group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.
Chris Coxon
Chris Coxon is a medicinal chemist and chemical biologist at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests are in peptide design, synthesis and the effects and applications of fluorination to control and study peptide and protein folding, recognition and assembly.
Craig Butts
Professor Craig Butts is the Head of the School of Chemistry and Professor of Structural and Mechanistic Chemistry at the University of Bristol. The Butts Research Group tackles challenges based around organic molecular structure and reaction mechanism, principally using NMR spectroscopy - the most information-rich analytical technique available to chemists.
Edina Rosta
Edina Rosta is a Professor of Molecular Modelling in the Condensed Matter & Materials Physics group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London.
James Hindley
Research in the Hindley group takes a multidisciplinary approach to construct bioinspired nano and microsystems known as synthetic cells. By utilising molecular self-assembly, and interfacing compartments with other (bio)molecules, synthetic cells can be constructed with the ability to mimic the architectures, functions and behaviours of biology.
Keith Willison
The Willison Group’s research interests cover a range of topics including eukaryotic protein folding and single molecule approaches to protein dynamics and protein counting.
Lorna Smith
Lorna is a Professor of Chemistry whose research centres around understanding protein folding and misfolding using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. In the area of Foldamers her work is particularly concentrated on MD simulations of peptides containing non-proteinogenic amino acids.
Manuel Müller
Manuel is the head of a lab that focuses on developing and applying chemical biology tools to elucidate how proteins are controlled by post-translational modifications.
Martina Delbianco
Martina is the Group Leader of the Carbohydrate Materials at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces. Her group synthesizes glycans that fold into defined secondary structures and assemble into programmable supramolecular architectures.
Steven Cobb
Steven is the Director of the Biophysical Sciences institute and his research group uses a range of methods and techniques in synthetic organic, peptoid and peptide chemistry to tackle interesting and challenging biological problems.
